The size difference doesn't really seem that great:
Sidr
Katrina
Note: these are the smaller 2k scale versions, so they won't crash your browser or anything.

the image of Sidr looks exaggrated as you can see Katrina was a very large storm with an eye 30 miles wide it created its own exaust system it didn't need the jet stream Sidr looks like a yoyo with that long exaust pipe

The latest is the storm has hit hard on the Bangaldesh coast after changing its course a bit from West Bengal,India.In West Bengal the Sagar Island and the Sunderbans are hit but not with the same intent as its being hit in the Sunderbans of Bangladesh and the other coastal areas.At the moment its passing through Barisal and Khulna in Bangladesh.Its started raining in Gangetic West Bengal already.

Re: BoB: Very Severe Cyclonic Storm SIDR: Landfall has occurred
I'm able to adjust the scale of my Sidr satellite image to match the scale of some saved Katrina images. Really, Sidr isn't too much smaller than Katrina. The cirrus shield is nearly the same size. The area of TS-force winds was just a little larger with Katrina. And the core of strongest winds may have been about 25-50 miles larger with Katrina. Measurements were taken when Katrina was a Cat 5 on Sunday, August 28th.

I'm not aware of any eclipse period this time of year, but here's the latest image I have. It's from 1730Z. We get images every 2 hours for free. Costs money for more frequent images. Sidr is definitely (was) less organized at 1730Z. The center was about 80 miles SW of Dhaka at that time.

The 1930Z image comes out between 20Z and 2030Z. It may be another 15-30 minutes.

Re: BoB: Very Severe Cyclonic Storm SIDR: Landfall has occurred
Any indications of what the storm surge might have been? Like, a report from the BBC team or something?

We could get them every 30 minutes if we paid for them, but we don't do much work in Asia so we have no need for more frequent imagery at this time. Still waiting on the 1930Z image to arrive...

Sidr seems to have passed over the Ganges delta. Convection is drying up fairly rapidly.
